The '''Screen''' menu in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' gives an in-game means of changing the widescreen settings of the [[Wii]] console to match the television being used. It is accessed via the Options menu, from the main menu, and by default inherits the setting enabled in the main Wii console options.

Note that changing the screen ratio does ''not'' change the Wii's output resolution, which remains at 640×480 (even on the default [[PAL]] setting of [[wikipedia:576i|576i]], 50Hz), only the way the picture is rendered within that resolution. As a result, [[snapshots]] captured on a widescreen-set console will appear to be "squashed" horizontally if decrypted and viewed on a PC unless resized.
